5 reasons to buy the 2015 Lexus RC F
1. Powerful 5.0L V8
Every Lexus RC F comes equipped with a powerful 5.0L V8 engine producing 467 horsepower and 389 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission to enable effortless acceleration as you merge onto highways or pass slow-moving traffic. On the track, you also have access to paddle shifters to make the most of the engine’s available power.
2. Track-focused tuning
The Lexus RC F might just be the best track toy that you can also drive on the road. Its chassis is highly rigid, with reinforced rockers and stiff front and rear bracing to maximize grip. This is paired with six-piston Brembo® calipers and huge 14.9-inch front-brake rotors to ensure you have the needed stopping power. The RC F also offers Lexus’s first torque vectoring system, providing the ability to shift power to the outside rear wheel when cornering to maximize grip.
3. Speed activated rear-wing
A rear wing on a sporty vehicle can make an appearance, but you may not always want to flash a car’s performance intentions. The RC F is available with a rear wing that is speed-activated, raising at higher speeds to create greater traction by increasing downforce. The wing seamlessly integrates into the trunk and is available in carbon fiber for added flair.
4. Exciting color options
When you are ready to make an appearance, the 2015 RC F is offered in several exciting colors. While many luxury coupes stick to safe colors like grays and blacks, the RC F is offered in a bright orange color, a vibrant red, and a vibrant blue, as well as more subdued options. Paired with black, gray, or red interiors, these colors mean your RC F can stand out from the crowd.
5. Available luxury features
While you may buy the RC F for its performance credentials, you will be happy to know that it still comes well-equipped. Standard features include push-button start, LED headlamps, power seats, and a rearview camera. Available options include a 17-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, in-dash navigation, and heated and ventilated front seats.
